I'm pretty sure we are not going to be blessed with All-Star edition 2 anytime in the next several years, but just in case we are I would like to propose some principles that World Race Productions should adhere to:

1. No popular, but mediocre teams like David and Mary in AR11.2. No hybrid teams like Eric and Danielle. Only teams who stay together may be consider.3. No really awful teams like Peggy and Claire, who rate in my worst 5 ever. I would never want to see them in an All-Star edition. 4. Only teams that placed in the top 4 positions in their Amazing Race. This would in fact have eliminated Mirna and Charla but there needs to be some cutoff to get only the most qualified teams. Some good teams who exited early might be worthy, but how do we know so no chances should be taken. I would not make an exception even for Bill and Tammy Gaghan, who are two of my favorites. 5. No team which has participated previously in an AR All-Stars will be conisdered. Note that this would allow Eric to race again with Jeremy.6. The selection process should not be biased to give Female/Female teams or teams involving a very short person a better chance(which AR5 and AR11 did for Charla in allowing early boarding and exit on/off airplanes) . It should ignore gender and focus on performance.

I think popular but mediocre teams like David and Mary are okay. I'm pretty sure the producers always belief that the race is unpredictable. If Charla and Mirna can make it all the way to the F3, anyone can.

In fact, Kevin and Drew also belong to the group of popular (no longer after Allstars) but just mediocre team.

I would love for TAR to do an Allstars season once every let's say.. 6 to 7 seasons.. in that way.. we can have at least 2 memorable teams from each season.

Some teams i would love to see for now after Allstars (TAR 12 & 13)1. Ronald and Christina2. Kynt and Vyxsin3. Terence and Sarah

Some teams i would really like to see from previous seasons but didn't make the cut of Allstars 11. Colin and Christie2. Tara and Wil3. Derek and Drew4. Flo and Zach5. Kris and Jon6. Fran and Barry7. Lyn and Karlyn

Mind you.. not all of these teams are my favourites. But i believe will add some sort of intense competition to an Allstars season!

Joab, I should say that your post has convinced me that I need to expand the principles to include:5. No team which has participated previously in an AR All-Stars will be conisdered. You should note that this would allow Eric to race again with Jeremy.6. The selection process should not be biased to give Female/Female teams or teams involving a very short person a better chance(which AR5 and AR11 did for Charla in allowing early boarding and exit on/off airplanes) . It should ignore gender and focus on performance.

Joab, you are making several bold and incorrect statements there:1. Kevin and Drew finished 4th in AR1, being eliminated by Joe/Bill in Beijing. They would qualify under my 4th place is OK principle for inclusion. I do not consider their AR1 performance as mediocre, as they were a very short time away from competing in the final 3; however their AR11 performance was embarrassing. Since they have already been in an AR All Star race, they would not be considered.2. Colin and Christie were invited to All-Stars but could not participate due to the advanced nature of Christie's pregnancy.3. I can't absolutely substantiate this, but I believe Kris and Jon were invited to Stars but declined to participate.4. It is quiet possible that Zach and Flo were invited, but Zach had NBC-TV obligations and could not do it.

Under my principles, Ronald and Christina would be eligible for their 2nd place AR12 finish. Neither Kynt/Vyxsin (#5 in AR12) or Terence and Sarah (#5 in AR13) would be eligible under those principles. This is merely a difference of opinion in how principles should be established, as alternative approaches (such as including #5s) would qualify them.

So, I guess I should tell you who I would invite if there were AR Allstars 2 as AR15:1. Colin and Christie2. Chris and Alex 3.Zach and Flo (I particularly want to see them going head-to-head with Colin and Chrstie)4. Jon and Al5. Jon and Kelly6. The Bowling moms(Linda and Karen)7. Kris and Jon 8. Eric and Jeremy9. BJ and Tyler10. Nick and Starr11. somebody from the top 4 of AR14

That's a nice idea, but then you'll get the popular but mediocre teams again.

Maybe they should invite the winners back and if any of them decline open those spots up for "wild cards" which the fans can decide online from a list.

Oh, and for what it's worth.

1. Kynt and Vyxsin2. Kelly and Christy3. Brian and Greg4. Linda and Karen5. Tian and Jaree6. Bill and Tammy7. Blake and Paige8. Paul and Amie9. Lena and Kristy10. Andre and Damon11. Eric and Jeremy12. Jonathan and Victoria

I have always wanted to see this done on a reality show such as Survivor or the Amazing Race...Either an all winners edition in which the previous season's winning teams would compete (for charity) or an all "loser" race in which all first eliminated teams would compete...(Both contests would be without the All-Star participants)

Winners EditionI. Rob and BrennenII. Chris and AlexIII. Flo and ZachIV. Reichen and ChipV. Chip and KimVI. Freddy and KendraVII. Uchenna and JoyceVIII. Two members of the Linz familyIX. BJ and TylerX. Tyler and JamesXI. TK and Rachel

Losers EditionI. Matt and AnaII. Deidre and HillaryIII. Gina and SylviaIV. Debra and StaveV. Dennis and ErikaVI. Avi and JoeVII. Ryan and ChuckVIII. Two members of the Black familyIX. John and ScottX. Bilal and Sa'eedXII. Kate and Pat

NO, NO, NO.. 1. They said there was never gonna be a TAR all star I. BVM told Victoria after TAR VI, TAR All Star would never happen. BVM worst than any politican.2. Flo said CBS wanted her to team with that twin guy she is dating but she wanted to team with Zach.3. Chris and Jon said CBS never contacted them concerning All Star I.4. We have to see who is the best team between Colin/Christy vs Chris/Jon vs Hayden/Aaron vs Flo/Zach. This must be competitive!!!!5. CBS has their demographics/political agenda they need to cover for the rest of the teams. They need a gay, comedy, minority, elderly, and evil/dumb blonde teams to fill out the cast. 6. They need to have another TAR All Stars II before the series gets canceled and so many fans were upset about legite teams that didn't make All Star I.

I thought the 1st All-Star was a disaster, because of a team based on a fake relationship, winning the race. I can live with an unlikable team winning, but not a team faking their relationship, just so they can get in the race. That is pretty much cheating.

If they decide to do another AS, I agree with what most said, but wanted to add... the seasons that did not have any teams in the 1st one, should have representation in the 2nd one.
